braindoc Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Just curious - what smoking woods does everyone prefer? I gravitate toward cherry or apple for poultry/pork, hickory for beef. Maybe its time for me to try some others. Any brands in particular? I’ve been reading about Fruita Wood and wonder if it is as good as the reviews say.

C6Bill Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Peach for Pork/Poultry and Post Oak for beef. I have tried any others but now i stick to those two. And I always get mine from Fruita Wood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I'm also a fan of Fruita Wood. I stick to the "classics" - peach, cherry, apple, mesquite, post oak and hickory. I still have a bit of coffee wood from Dennis. I wish that I could still get pimento wood chunks for doing jerk chicken. I only have a few pieces left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Cherry, Maple, White and Red oak, Red and White Birch are common around here braindoc and in abundance on hand. Since I like to resource my own from whats about or at the local firewood provider in his pile to pick, you made realize I haven't had any apple or peach in a while. Rather than order from an on line provider I went ahead and called a local orchad in the area. Springtime is just around the corner and they start pruning soon, they might even thin the herd and remove a few trees for reasons of their own. I spoke to a family member owning the orchard and he asked me to contact him later in the week after he spoke with his grandfather. Just a thought, I like my wood fresh...straight off the farm if available 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I've tried the splits, but found them generally too big, so I stick to the regular chunks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C6Bill Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I like the splits, i will take a hatchet and split each one into three. But chunks are good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
